They should also file a complaint against WD, it’s posible that they used hard disks of that brand. Also Nike, since I heard one of the workers who built the data centre used Nike shoes whilst painting the walls.

Yes, but now it's the wrong side controlling it.
Re:RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung on Thursday December 04, 2025 @09:09AM (#46147817)
What will we do with that fab in two years when nobody needs that excess RAM?
My prescription is very low and I can drive fine without glasses but I can’t recognise people at a long distance.
This reminds me of when a friend became a cop. One day I saw him or I thought I saw him from far away but I couldn’t tell him that I wasn’t sure it was him because I couldn’t recognise him because of my myopia and, since I sometimes drive without my glasses on - what if one day he caught me?

You just have to see how they’ve handled Xinjiang to know how they feel about this matter.

Look at the money they’ve made to see if it was a bad idea or not.
Re:Accepting US car standards would risk European lives on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @04:36AM (#46132361)
Despite all the bs you’ll read here, Europeans also want bigger cars. For me the proof is that poor people car brands like Dacia no longer sell sedans.

I think the reason you don’t see many big cars is that we are generally so poor that we can’t afford what we would like to buy. At least where I live… Also our streets are old and narrow which makes it impractical.

No, it's just that Samsung phones suck.

Almost nothing that (naive) men think women will find attractive is actually attractive to women.

Yeah, I’m not going back to wired headphones, like, ever.
To shut Windows down, press Win+R to see the Run dialog and then type shutdown /s /t 0
The "I know, crazy idea." from the parent comment is even more abrasive.
Re:High-income job losses are cooling housing demand on Monday December 01, 2025 @03:10PM (#46112502)
Welcome to Europe. As an example, in Spain, there are 500K more people living off the government than working in the private sector: https://theobjective.com/economia/macroeconomia/2024-09-16/a...
I also have many messaging apps, but they are all different personas of myself, intended for different audiences. I have zero interest in mixing them.

Right? It wasn’t me. So was it Gizmodo, the website where this was posted?
Just to be clear this is done automatically by macOS or iOS browsers when configured properly.
>To put this into perspective, the total combined population of these countries exceed 2.5 billion, or just about 30% of Earth’s population which is wild.

Doesn't look like anybody can make 35% of their revenue from those countries though, does it.

This reminds me of when pvs-studio would post every single analysis they would make of popular C++ projects. It was a fun novelty back in the day. Just like these scans, which now are boring and overplayed.
I didn’t say anything about tech workers.
Immigration is about short-changing the natives to make the billionaires wealthier, yes, we know.

People are also now learning this fact, which is why you’re getting unpalatable politicians elected.

I don’t understand this thing you do in the US of forcing you to do completely unrelated courses. You want to study computers and they put you through liberal arts or gender studies bullshit that is basically worthless. Why?
You have better employment options only if there are not enough people with degrees. If you give everybody the option of obtaining a degree then nobody is better off. In fact those at the bottom of the barrel end up in an even worse position.
…but there is cost to the student or their family. The difference being that paying for it or not is not an option. You can’t just say “I won’t go to uni, so I won’t pay for it”
